, e TO ALL WHOM T MAY CONGERN:

Be it known ,that I, ALBERT H. RUSSELL, of the city ofAdrian, State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in VStock-Pumps; and I do herebyrdeclare that the follow'ing isa full, clear, and exact description, which vfill enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, reference being hadto `the accompanyingv drawings,` and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention relates to theu construction` of a stock-pump,fhaving a hydrostatic bellows placed near the bottom of the well,` and operated hy a platform 4in'sueh a manner that by the walking of the stoel: upon it the water is forced up Iinto a vessel mede for the purpose;

Irl-the drawings-n Figure Vl represents a perspective view of such la pumpits railings, platforms, non

Figure representan vertical section cutting the centreof the pump. V

Figure -3 represents a perspective view of the hydrostatic belloivs, and the lower end of the pump-log as inserted into it. t t

Figure 4 represents a section, of the platforms cut through the red lines a: y in fig. 1.

' Like letters referto -like parts. v

A represents the pump-log.

B represents gne of the platforms.`

C and D represent respectively the other two platforms.

Rreprcsents the railings.

T represents the water-tub.

vM represents the well.

K represents the nellcovering.

S representsthe spout to the pump.

aand b represent frictionpulleys.- i

o represents a plug' to prevent the waterfrom rising higher than the spout.

W represents aneight, suspended by a cord, z', over the pulley b, and hangs in the well M;

F represents the pper, and Y d VHthe lower boards of the hydrostatic bellows.

g represents an India-rubber rim, that connects-the twoboards F an'd H ofthe hydrostatic bellows;

V represents two valves, covering twoholcs` in the bottom board H. y p

U represents a rod, which is hooked at Athe upper end tofa rope that passes over the friction-pulley a, and connects, by means of the two wires m and n, to the platform B, which is held equipoise by the weight W.

j is aistaple, and 4 *i l 1 p fis a tongue,'projecting into'the staple from the. under side'of the platforms C and D, thus preventing 'them-from settling lower Vor faster than the platform` i r represents seat-blocks to prevent the lower ends of the platforms C and` D from resting on Vthe ground.

Zrepresents the hydrostatic bellows'. Y

p The rod U is firmly attached to the lower board H `of the'hydrostatc bellows, anddraws it vu p as the platforms are'depressedbythe .weight of the' stock Walking upon them. v

The pump-log is secured stationary in thery-ehll by means of the' Well-covering K, and any other device desirable to hold the bottom en d of" it central in the well; and the bottom end of the said pumplog is inserted into the upper board,l F, of the hydrostatic bellows, asrepresented. i

The rod U at the lower end is kept central in the hollow of the pump-log by un ironv cleat fastened to the under side'of the upper board of, the 'said-bellows, said cleat not being represented in' the drawings.

Having thus described the construction of my improved stoek-pumpz its operation is as follows.;

vThe stock, seeking 'for water, enters either way, and upon either platform C or Dwhile they are elevated,

as shown. in the drawings, by the weight W, Bg. 2. As the stock advances towards the tub T its weight dcpresses 'the platforms, and this in turn draws up the rod Uand the lowerl board of the said bellows Z, which is now filled with water, through the openings c. The pressre of the water in the bellows Z immediately causes the valves- Vito drop down over lthe openings, and, thus prevents the water from escaping downward, and is, therefore, forced up through the hollow' in the pump-log, and out of the spout S into the tub '.ll, and will continue to Bow until the bellows Z is emptied, or the s tockpasses off, when the platforms are again raised by the weight W, and

the rod U and bottomboard of the bellows Z again sink down in the water and cause the'bellows Z again to fill through the openings c, as before, ready for another animal. y I design, this pump to be used also for drawing water, for domestic use, froin cisterns and wells, snbstituting agtreadle in lplace of Ithe platforms. i

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as n ew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is; A stock-pump, in which arexcombined and arranged the rod U running through the bore of the pump-log A, the hydrostatic bellows Z, and the pivoted platforms C, B, and Dsubstantially as described.
